Introduction

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is proud to present VA’s Management Directive (MD) 715 Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Program Status Report for fiscal year (FY) 2013 and EEO Plan for FY 2014. This report addresses all the required elements of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC) MD-715 for building and sustaining a Model EEO Program.

VA is comprised of a Central Office (VACO), which is located in Washington, DC, and field facilities throughout the Nation, as well as the U.S. territories and the Philippines. Programs are administered by three major line organizations: Veterans Health Administration (VHA), Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA), and the National Cemetery Administration (NCA). VA is the second largest Federal Department, with a workforce of over 336,000 employees.

VA provides health care, benefits, and memorial services for approximately 21.9 million Veterans.1 VA provides these services through three major organizational subcomponents: the VHA, with 151 medical centers, 990 outpatient clinics (including hospital-based, independent, mobile, and community-based outpatient clinics), 135 community living centers, 103 domiciliary rehabilitation treatment programs, and 300 readjustment counseling centers; VBA, with 56 regional offices; and the NCA, with 131 cemeteries. In addition to the national cemeteries, NCA supports VA’s Cemetery Grant Program which is designed to complement NCA’s national cemeteries across the country. VACO is the national headquarters office comprising numerous Staff Offices reporting to the Secretary.

Unlike most Federal agencies, VA maintains a tri-partite structure for the administration of its Department-wide EEO and diversity management functions. The respective functions and responsibilities are distributed among three independent offices as described below:

The Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI) develops Department-wide EEO and diversity policies; performs workforce analyses and reporting; develops outreach and retention programs, and provides training and communication on EEO and diversity topics.

The Office of Resolution Management (ORM) administers the Department’s EEO complaint processing system (counseling, procedural, decision, investigation, and compliance) and oversees the Workplace, Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Program.

The Office of Employment Discrimination Complaint Adjudication (OEDCA) issues final agency decisions (FAD) based upon an investigative record or final orders following a decision by an EEOC administrative judge.

2010 CENSUS Data

The basis for the trigger analysis for this report is the new 2010 CENSUS data (U.S. citizens only), released November 29, 2012. There are significant differences of the relevant civilian labor force (RCLF2) data between the 2000 and 2010 CENSUS data. The civilian labor force (CLF3) representation for Hispanics decreased from 10.70 percent to 9.96 percent and the CLF 1 Data Source: National Center for Veterans Analysis and Statistics Web site, http://www1.va.gov/vetdata/Veteran_Population.asp; date pulled October 2, 2013.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

representation for Asians increased from 3.60 percent to 3.90 percent. The CLF for both the 2000 Census and 2010 Census data excludes Puerto Rico and U.S. territories. In addition, the accounting for employees who self-identified as two or more races was changed to comply with the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) guidelines. OPM uses OMB guidelines when counting those who self-identified as White and another group (Hispanics excluded); these groups are counted in the latter group rather than in the two or more races group. Previous reports grouped employees who self-identified as White and another group (Hispanics excluded) as two or more races. Summary of Self-Assessment against the EEO Model Essential Elements

In FY 2013, VA continued to make progress toward implementing a Model EEO Program in accordance with EEOC’s six essential elements identified in Part G, which contains a list of yes/no type questions, grouped under each of the elements. A “no” response indicates a deficiency in that aspect of the EEO program. ODI monitors VA’s status on these elements though a sophisticated web-based system that enables VA components to enter and track their self-assessment on MD-715 Parts G and H at all organizational levels. Deficiencies identified at the national level focused mainly on structural challenges such as inconsistent coordination between EEO and human resources (HR) staff, and lack of centralized tracking and enforcement in some areas. These issues have been addressed in Part H. Table 1 displays the percent of the “Compliance Indicators” assessed as met in Part G of the report and is grouped by each Model EEO program essential element. Overall, 94 percent of all appropriate “Compliance Indicators” in Part G were assessed as being met, a marginal improvement from FY 2012. The paragraphs following Table 1 depict some of VA’s major accomplishments and challenges under each of the six essential elements.

VA into a 21st century organization that will be built around three guiding principles: “people centric, results oriented, and forward looking.” A key component of this initiative is the Human Capital Investment Plan (HCIP), an unprecedented investment in human capital that supports talent management, employee engagement, and leadership development. In FY 2013, the Secretary reaffirmed his commitment to diversity and inclusion by including a mandatory EEO, Diversity and Inclusion Critical Performance Element in performance standards for all senior executives. Secretary Shinseki issued a new EEO, Diversity, and Notification and Federal Employee Antidiscrimination and Retaliation Act (No FEAR) Policy Statement, on May 31, 2013, mandating that all managers and supervisors receive EEO, Diversity, and Conflict Management Training on a biennial basis. The policy statement included additional employee protections in the area of gender identity, Workplace Violence and Bullying, Prohibited Personnel Practices and Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994. The Secretary also reaffirmed his 3 percent hiring goal for Individuals with Targeted Disabilities (IWTD) in FY 2013. For FY 2013, hires of IWTDs were 2.83 percent of total hires. The representation of IWTDs was 1.99 percent, shy of the Secretary’s 2 percent goal for individuals with targeted disabilities. The Assistant Secretary for Human Resources and Administration (ASHRA) and the Deputy Assistant Secretary (DAS) for Diversity and Inclusion continue to co-chair the VA Diversity Council, comprising senior executives, employee unions, and affinity group representatives, and expanded the membership of VA’s Diversity Council to include employee unions and affinity group representatives. Additionally, the Council supported the Secretary’s Annual Diversity and Inclusion Excellence Awards Program.

The Under Secretary for Health (USH) and all other VHA leaders embraced and promoted EEO and diversity in the VHA workforce through fostering an environment of open, responsive, and proactive communication. USH also demonstrated his commitment and leadership by issuing a VHA EEO policy statement aligned with the Secretary’s policy statement; holding Senior Executives accountable for their efforts related to EEO and diversity through their performance measures; and by implementing other policies to strengthen the message of the importance of EEO, diversity and inclusion.  EEO and Diversity and Inclusion policies were distributed to VHA employees.

In FY 2013, the several VBA policies were reviewed, updated and disseminated to all employees: the Equal Employment Opportunity Policy Statement (VBA Letter 20-13-10) to include Transgender and Gender Identity within the protected class of Sex in the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended; the Prevention of Sexual Harassment (VBA Letter 20-13-11); VBA’s Prevention and Elimination of Harassment (VBA Letter 20-13-12); and VBA’s Alternative Dispute Resolution Policy (VBA Letter 20-13-13).

The Under Secretary of Benefits attended and participated in VA’s Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual Transgender (LGBT) Program. The St. Petersburg Regional Office (RO) held its third Diversity and Inclusion Day where six EEO Special Emphasis Program Committees set-up booths displaying multicultural art, craft, educational materials, and provided samples of various food. VBA leadership continued to approve funding for the Annual Summer Internship Program to cultivate and develop the next generation of leaders in the workplace. In FY 2013, VBA sponsored a total of 11 interns.

The Under Secretary for Memorial Affairs (USMA) and other senior officials continue to support the ongoing efforts of promoting diversity and inclusion throughout the workforce. For FY 2013, NCA participated in over 100 outreach events where USMA and senior leaders participated in several of these events providing information on the services NCA provides as well as information on career opportunities. USMA also reaffirmed his commitment to all mandatory EEO policies and procedures by disseminating the Secretary of Veterans Affairs 2013, EEO, Diversity & Inclusion, and the No FEAR Policy throughout the workforce. USMA also supported the implementation of NCA's Executive Diversity Committee and Special Emphasis Advisory Committee that is currently working on developing a cultural competency program, strategies for increasing targeted recruitment activities and identifying and addressing barriers that have a disparate impact on identified groups.

INTEGRATION OF EEO INTO THE AGENCY’S STRATEGIC MISSION: In FY 2011, President Barack Obama issued Executive Order (EO) 13583, “Establishing a Coordinated Governmentwide Initiative to Promote Diversity and Inclusion in the Federal Workforce.” The EO directed individual agencies to develop their own diversity and inclusion plans consistent with the Governmentwide plan, the agency’s overall strategic plan, human capital plan, and applicable laws and Merit System Principles. During FY 2013, ODI continued to lead the development of a model VA Diversity and Inclusion Strategic Plan for FY 2012 – 2016 that served as a Governmentwide model. Progress on the strategic objectives was reported to the Secretary, senior leadership, and disseminated publicly in the VA’s fourth Diversity and Inclusion Annual Performance Report for FY 2012. Additionally, the ASHRA, as the designated EEO Director, meets regularly with the Secretary and Deputy Secretary on EEO and diversity issues. Additionally, the DAS for Diversity and Inclusion participates in the Monthly Performance Review process, ASHRA’s senior staff meetings, Integrated Human Resources Management Board, quarterly HR statistics reviews, and leadership development oversight boards for to ensure integration of EEO and diversity policies in Departmental operations.

In FY 2013, The DAS for Diversity and Inclusion revised VA Directive 5975, Diversity and Inclusion, to update policies, program requirements, and responsibilities for VA’s diversity and inclusion programs, including building a Model EEO program that integrates Affirmative Employment, Special Emphasis, Reasonable Accommodation, and Diversity and Inclusion programs. EEO and diversity policies and initiatives were widely communicated through ODI’s expansive nationwide communication vehicles, including the monthly Diversity News video broadcast, weekly NewsLink summaries, bi-monthly Diversity@Work newsletters, technical assistance publications, and the redesigned ODI Internet web pages.

VHA incorporated EEO principles into its Workforce and Succession Strategic Plan, Operational Plan, and VA Diversity and Inclusion Plan.  VHA’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion supported and implemented various components of the VA Diversity and Inclusion Plan. VHA’s ODI participated in the VA for Vets Hiring Fairs, facilitated Unconscious Bias Training and attended VA ODI Stakeholders meetings.

VBA’s Office of Diversity Management and EEO (DM & EEO) partnered with VA’s ODI to provide training. In FY 2013, three VBA RO’s received face-to-face EEO, Diversity and Inclusion Training. There were a total of 560 VBA participants including employees, supervisors and managers who completed the training. From FY 2011 to FY 2013, 26 ROs have completed this training. Additionally,

DM &EEO conducted a 1 day EEO training class for VBA leadership programs at the VBA Training Academy located in Baltimore.

In FY 2013, VBA far exceeded the Secretary’s 2 percent onboard goal and 3 percent hiring goal for IWTD. In addition, VBA exceeded the Secretary’s 40 percent onboard goal for Veterans. Approximately 47 percent of VBA’s workforce was a Veteran.

The NCA EEO Office remains under the office of the USMA and the EEO Director reports directly to the head of the Agency. The NCA EEO Office continues to provide guidance and technical assistance to all levels of the organization. The EEO Manager meets with the USMA weekly on diversity initiatives and other EEO related topics. The EEO Office continues to participate in the Agency’s monthly strategic plan update providing information on EEO. Additionally, 100 percent of NCA senior officials, managers and supervisors completed the mandatory online training in EEO, diversity and conflict management. For this FY, NCA provided over 50 reasonable accommodation (RA) requests. In FY 2013, NCA had the highest hiring ratio of IWTDs of 7.13 percent compared to the other Administrations. Further, NCA's permanent and temporary representation of IWTD was 2.79 percent exceeding VA's goal. NCA increased its onboard representation of Veterans to 74.71 percent.

MANAGEMENT AND PROGRAM ACCOUNTABILITY: ODI integrated the new 2010 Census civilian labor force database into VHA’s Service Support Center (VSSC) suite of analytical applications. ODI conducted quarterly MD-715 progress review meetings with all Administrations and VACO and developed standard monthly diversity reports for distribution to VACO staff offices and the Administrations. ODI also performed six on-site EEO Technical Assistance Reviews (TAR) at selected field facilities to analyze hires, separations, promotions, EEO complaints, and employee survey results systematically to identify potential EEO barriers and share best practices. ODI continued to report EEO workforce statistics to the senior leadership through monthly and quarterly workforce diversity reports and briefings. ODI prepared and submitted the Department’s EEO status and plans to EEOC in accordance with MD-715 and produced and published the VA Diversity and Inclusion FY 2012 report documenting the accomplishments and outcomes of meeting the VA Diversity and Inclusion Strategic Plan. In FY 2013, ODI published the VA FY 2013 – 2016 Hispanic Employment, Retention and Outreach (HERO) plan. OPM has highlighted HERO as a Federal model for improving diversity.

ODI conducted six national outreach events in collaboration with its affinity group partners to build a diverse and inclusive workforce in VA and administered six technical assistance reviews of VA facilities to ensure compliance with mandated EEO, and Diversity and Inclusion requirements. ODI also partnered with Administrations and Staff Offices to conduct 12 outreach events to the Hispanic community and Hispanic Veterans.

ODI provided training on RA and Schedule A hiring. ODI also provided centralized funding for RAs, which OPM has recognized as a best practice for the retention of IWTD. ODI also provides quarterly hiring updates by Administration subcomponent to the VA leadership. VA hired 48 students under VA’s centralized Workforce Recruitment Program (WRP) for college students with disabilities, ranked second behind the Department of Defense (DoD). VA converted nine of these students to full-time

status, the highest of all Federal agencies participating in the program. These strategies contributed to the increase in VA's employment of individuals with targeted disabilities (permanent and temporary) from 1.85 percent in FY 2012 to 1.99 percent in FY 2013. The employment of these strategies was also instrumental in helping VA make strides in meeting the Secretary's 3 percent hiring goal for people with a targeted disability.

ODI formally implemented VA’s first LGBT Special Emphasis Program and Employee Resource Group under the auspices of the VA Diversity Council and held its 4th annual Pride event at VACO.

VA is one of the few Federal agencies that successfully implemented an independent system to store and analyze applicant flow data from OPM’s USA Staffing. The first data release for VA occurred in December 2012.  Since then, ODI has been working with OPM to refine the data format to improve data integrity and increase usability of the applicant data. 

To support leadership accountability, ODI’s newly developed Diversity Index Methodology was integrated in the EEO, Diversity, and ADR dashboard. This allows managers and EEO specialists to view 5-year trends of the Diversity Index at the facility level.

During FY 2013, VHA continued to rate Senior Executives against appropriate performance metrics to ensure accountability, which consists of six elements addressing a Model EEO program.  These performance measures, coupled with VHA’s Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Employment Office (EEO/AEO) Quarterly Survey and EEO Program Status Report, allowed Senior Executives to identify systemic barriers to the Model EEO Program and created corrective action plans throughout the year. VHA EEO/AEO continues to market the use of virtual peers on the six essential elements of a model EEO program required by EEOC MD-715. VBA participated in VA’s Diversity Focus Groups conducted by Veterans Health Administration (VHA) National Center for Organization Development. The purpose for VBA’s participation in the focus groups was to identify influencing factors that shape employee and leadership perceptions of diversity disparities within VBA and develop ways in which to eliminate barriers to workplace inclusion. VBA Central Office and the following ROs participated in the focus groups, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, St. Petersburg, and Seattle.

As mentioned in the previous section, NCA’s EEO Office developed the EEO and Diversity Management Accomplishments for each mission support network. The Office also coordinated through the Office of Diversity and Inclusion a series of trainings titled, “The VA Reasonable Accommodation Program for Managers.” All managers participated in the training. NCA has ensured that all Internet forms are 508 compliant.

PROACTIVE PREVENTION OF UNLAWFUL DISCRIMINATION: In FY 2013, VA ODI updated its mandatory EEO, Diversity and Inclusion, Conflict Management Training for Executives, Managers, and Supervisors, and trained over 30,000 managers nationwide. As a result of this and the other proactive prevention strategies described below, VA’s per capita rate of discrimination complaint filings (both formal and informal), decreased significantly from FY 2012 (from 1.39 percent to 1.26 percent and .73 percent to .61 percent, respectively).

ODI expanded its corporate EEO and diversity training program and consultative function for the agency and conducted over 125 face-to-face training sessions nationwide to over 4,500 employees in 17 VA facilities to include VACO, VBA Regional Offices, VA Medical Centers, and the Board of Veterans Appeals.  V-Tel was integrated when available to include outlying Community-Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOC) of medical centers.  Two specialized presentations of LGBT awareness were presented to five Federal agencies in one location and another at DoD by invitation. ODI established a strong collaborative relationship with Human Resources Management (HRM), providing critical information on EEO, Diversity and Inclusion, and Reasonable Accommodations to new employees and new supervisors and managers in training sessions designed to assist them in their daily work.  ODI has presented at 26 on-boarding and 4 manager and supervisor briefings throughout the fiscal year which give ODI an opportunity to interact with over 1,000 employees.

ODI also partnered with VA Learning University’s (VALU) Career Employment Development (CED) Directorate to support the integration of customized diversity and inclusion concepts, practices, and principles into the Interpersonal Effectiveness Learning Program. Two courses are under final development for release in 2nd and 3rd quarters of FY 2014: (1) Diversity: Valuing Diversity in the Workplace is part of the Interpersonal Effectiveness Learning Program, designed to enhance organizational effectiveness by focusing on building interpersonal skills. The Valuing Diversity in the Workplace course is a foundational level course that introduces the concepts of diversity in the workplace as well as techniques aimed at improving communication and building better working relationships. (2) Diversity: Fostering an Inclusive Culture is part of the Interpersonal Effectiveness Learning Program, designed to enhance organizational effectiveness by focusing on building interpersonal skills. The Fostering an Inclusive Culture course is an intermediate level course that outlines methods for seeking out diverse ideas and alternative viewpoints, examines ways to involve people with diverse backgrounds in the problem-solving process, and presents techniques to resolve conflict through open, transparent communication. 

ODI developed a standard national training program for the VA Service Support Center analytical tools for HR and diversity management, and for Barrier Analysis training. More than 175 EEO specialists and directors signed up through the Talent Management System (TMS) portal and were trained during 8 separate training events.

ORM conducted numerous training and awareness programs in the area of ADR and increased its complaint resolution rate from 41 percent in FY 2012 to 52 percent in FY 2013. One strategy included disseminating ADR videos to educate the parties to a complaint on the process and value of ADR.

ODI implemented its new Inclusion Index and analyzed employee responses to diversity and inclusion survey items in the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey. Under the auspices of the VA Diversity Council, ODI commissioned a study to examine differences in survey responses of specific, diverse VA employee groups, and study of employee perceptions of fairness in the workplace. In addition, ODI administered the Secretary of Veterans Affairs Annual Diversity and Inclusion Excellence Awards Program to recognize achievements in three categories of the VA workforce.

Additionally, ODI implemented the following outreach and retention strategies:

Executive Summary

DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS

Launched the MyCareer@VA Pilot program at Martinsburg and Washington DC VA Medical Centers to eliminate barriers and glass ceilings for all employees including those with less than expected representation in jobs above the GS-9 level;

Administered the Reasonable Accommodation Centralized Fund to reimburse VACO and field VA offices to support 1,105 reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities in the pipeline;

Developed the first VA Hispanic Employment, Retention, and Outreach Strategic Plan in order to align efforts in increasing outreach to and retention of Hispanics in VA;

Recruited over 200 diverse student interns through the National Diversity Intern Program (NDIP) and issued a student handbook titled, “What All Students Need to Know” to ensure efficient onboarding of interns; and

Co-initiated a partnership with the Human Rights Campaign and participated in the Health Equity Index to assess LGBT cultural competence and equity in VA medical centers.

During FY 2013, VHA EEO/AEO personnel provided training to managers and supervisors upon request.  VHA EEO/AEO also provided training to three program offices.  Monthly training sessions were held for EEO Managers.  The VHA EEO/AEO personnel conducted a total of 28 training sessions in FY 2013 for EEO professionals and other stakeholders (i.e., workforce planners, Human Resources Management Staff, Education Coordinator, etc.). VHA EEO/AEO conducted Review and Revise Chats for VISN Leads and EEO Managers to share and discuss best practices amongst VISNs.  VHA EEO/AEO facilitated quarterly reports on ADR metrics and Targeted Disabilities to keep the VISN and medical center directors abreast of their progress toward meeting FY 2013 goals.   

VBA offices, including 56 ROs, conduct self-assessments annually to monitor progress in areas where barriers may exclude certain groups, and to develop strategic plans to eliminate identified barriers. Self-assessments are conducted through the completion of reports and plans including MD-715, Federal Equal Opportunity Recruitment Program (FEORP) and the Selective Placement Programs, and the Disabled Veterans Affirmative Action Program.

NCA leadership continues to seek proactive ways to enhance workplace climate. In FY 2013, NCA participated in the All Employee Survey (AES). NCA employees responded at a rate of 63.4 percent which exceeds the national response rate of 60 percent. One of NCA’s strategic goals is to increase the civility index to 4.0 percent by 2015. To reach this goal, NCA Memorial Service Networks continue to implement and adjust AES action plans annually; the EEO Office conducted and coordinated a series of training through webinars and conference calls. The NCA EEO Office participated in an internal team building exercises (Crucial Conversations) to develop additional skillsets to ensure the staff is efficient in handling difficult situations and providing guidance to resolve issues identified by managers and employees.

In FY 2013, the NCA EEO Office also initiated the “Educating for Excellence Initiative.” This initiative consists of the distribution of a series of “You Be the Judge” emails. Managers review the case and vote on how they would decide the matter. This serves as a mini-training for the manager which broadens their understanding of EEO. Management’s responses are recorded, and their participation is noted on their end of year performance assessment under “participation in EEO sponsored activities.” The NCA EEO Office also developed and conducted four presentations on “Promoting

Respect & Civility.” Additionally, the EEO Manager and members of the VHA Special Emphasis Program Advisory Committee assisted in the development of the new Cultural Competency Training Module for VHA.

EFFICIENCY: VA’s capability to process, track, and report data concerning the EEO process has been increased through the use of the Complaints Automated Tracking System (CATS). CATS allows ORM to track EEO complaint processing for each stage of the EEO complaint process from the initial informal contact through closure. ORM continued to process counseling sessions below the requisite 30 days (24 days in FY 2013) and has marginally exceeded the formal complaint processing time of 180 days (200 days in FY 2013).

Additionally, OEDCA reduced its backlog and overall case inventory by 30 percent in FY 2013. Pending cases over 60 days were reduced by 14 percent and constituted a third of initial inventory at the end of FY 2013.

ORM’s ADR program has had an extremely positive impact on the efficiency of VA’s EEO program nationwide with ADR being offered in 98 percent of all informal EEO complaints. The ADR election rate of informal EEO complaints in which both VA and the aggrieved person agree to participate in ADR was 58 percent. ADR is used for both EEO and non-EEO disputes with very positive results:

VHA has an active ADR Program with a 99.41 percent offer rate for EEO cases.  However, to reduce EEO complaints, conflict coaching was recommended for all managers and supervisors during FY 2013. Mediations were offered to resolve disputes in other forums, i.e., negotiated grievances, agency grievances, Merit System Protection Board appeals, and EEOC hearings.

VBA continues to use the ORM’s CATS, and ORM’s EEO, Diversity, and ADR Dashboard. These tracking systems are used to monitor and identify the status of title VII EEO complaints, the complaint resolution process, and other information/data necessary to analyze complaint activity and historical trends.

As part of the strategic plan to decrease the number of EEO complaints, NCA’s EEO Office partnered with the ORM and the Federal Mediation Conciliation Services. Through this partnership, ADR training was revised and presented to managers/supervisors and employees to provide the tools and skillsets needed to resolve issues early on. This newly revised training was conducted at four cemeteries during this fiscal year. This training will be provided to all cemeteries by FY 2017. For FY 2013, NCA informal complaints decreased slightly; NCA current ADR participation rate is 58.14 percent which is above the VA goal of 54 percent. Management is strongly encouraged to participate in “pre-mediation” meetings which are expected to increase the ADR resolution rate.

RESPONSIVENESS AND LEGAL COMPLIANCE: ODI, ORM, OEDCA, OHRM, and the Administrations share responsibility for responsiveness and legal compliance in the area of EEO. In FY 2013, ORM counselors averaged 24 days per counseling episode, below EEOC’s mandate of 30 calendar days, and completed the counseling process in which ADR was elected in an average of 71 days, well below the EEOC requirement of 90 days. In FY 2013, the number of days to complete investigations was 200. ORM is engaged in projects to further reduce EEO case processing times. ORM has partnered with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Document Service to replicate and digitize EEO complaint files reducing our reliance on paper “hard copy” records. Through our working relationship with DLA Documents Service, ORM has achieved greater efficiency, reduced costs, and furthered VA’s overall “Green Initiative.” ORM is currently entering hearing requests and appeal files through the EEOC Portal Hearings Electronic Case Processing System (HECAPS) and EEOC File Exchange (EFX). ORM’s use of digital files is fully compliant with EEOC requirements for HECAPS and EFX. The use of digital files has resulted in the use of less paper records being exchanged between the two agencies. ORM also has an initiative to auto-populate routine EEO documents, such as the EEO Counselors Report, which would lessen the burden of preparing such reports and the time needed to do so.

In FY 2013, VA reduced its investigative time from 183 days in FY 2008 to under 180 days in FY 2013, making VA one of the few Federal agencies in compliance with the regulatory requirement of 180 days.

ODI, ORM, OEDCA, the OHRM, and the Administrations share responsibility for responsiveness and legal compliance in the area of EEO.

Workforce Composition

As the second largest Cabinet level department, VA is proud to be one of the most diverse agencies in the Federal Government. The Relevant Civilian Labor Force (RCLF) is the benchmark against which we measure the diversity of our workforce. Compared to the RCLF, VA’s workforce is at or above the RCLF representation in all areas except for White and Hispanic females, and Hispanic and Asian males. While the overall representation of most demographic groups increased in FY 2013, the proportional representation of Hispanic females decreased marginally from 3.55 percent to 3.52 percent. The proportional representation of White females decreased from 35.80 percent to 35.58 percent. The proportional representation of Hispanic males remained constant at 3.10 percent. The proportional representation of Asian males increased from 2.63 percent to 2.75 percent. The increase in Asian males is due, in part, to including employees who self-identified as White and Asian. Figure 1 depicts VA’s current on-board representation as compared with last year’s representation, the CLF and RCLF.

Figure 1. VA Onboard versus RCLF/CLF (Permanent and Temporary)

CLF and RCLF - Derived from 2010 Census, CLF includes all occupations and RCLF is limited to VA occupations in VA proportions.

We look at net change in order to determine whether the groups with low participation rates are increasing at the same rate or higher than the change for the total VA workforce. The net change for the total VA workforce in FY 2013 was a 4.01 percent increase, or 12,965 employees. At the end of FY 2013, VA’s workforce totaled 336,119 employees, including 20,271 temporary employees6. The three groups with a lower than expected representation rate (compared with the RCLF), Hispanic and White females, and Hispanic males had a net change that was lower than 4.01 percent (3.25 percent and 3.38 percent, and 3.95 percent, respectively). Asian males also fall below their expected representation but have a net change of 8.49 percent, higher than the overall overage of 4.01 percent. Ideally, the net change for groups that are below the benchmark would be higher than the net change for the total workforce, which would mean the group is expanding at a rate greater than the total workforce. The remaining reported race and ethnicity categories each had a net change in FY 2013 that was higher than the net change for the total workforce. To ensure EEO, VA will continue to place special emphasis on outreach and retention efforts for Hispanic and White females, given their lower than expected growth rate. Table 4 provides a detail of the net changes of the total workforce by Race, Ethnicity and Gender (REG). The net change for each REG is compared to the net change for

Net change is calculated by dividing the difference between the number of current employees and the number of employees in the prior year by the number of employees in the prior year.

White men dropped from 13.99 percent to 13.46 percent below their expected representation rate (compared with the CLF). ODI believes this is a testament to the success of improving the workforce diversity by focusing on outreach and retention programs to the historically under-represented REG.

Targeted Disabilities

In addition to examining the workforce by REG, we also review the data for individuals with targeted disabilities7. Continuing with last year’s trend, the representation of individuals with targeted disabilities (permanent and temporary) increased from 1.85 percent in FY 2012 to 1.99 percent in FY 2013. The net change for this group’s population was a positive 11.50 percent, compared to 4.01 percent for the total VA workforce. We believe this increase is a testament to the success of VA’s focused efforts as guided by its FY 2012-2016 Diversity and Inclusion Strategic Plan, and the Secretary’s 3 percent hiring goal for individuals with targeted disabilities. In addition, VA resurveyed its workforce, focusing on the disability status of its employees. The resurvey was executed on a volunteer self-identification basis. Permanent employees with targeted disabilities increased from 1.80 percent in FY 2012 to 1.92 percent of the VA permanent workforce in FY 2013. In FY 2013, VA fell short of the Secretary’s goal that 3 percent of all new hires be individuals with targeted disabilities. Approximately 74 percent of VA’s employees hired with targeted disabilities were Veterans.

According to Figure 2, from FY 2012 to FY 2013 there was an increase of employees with targeted disabilities who self-identified as having a psychiatric disability. Individuals with psychiatric disabilities are the largest component (55.61 percent) of individuals with targeted disabilities. The number of employees who identified with a psychiatric disability increased from 3,149 in FY 2012 to 3,716 in FY 2013. This group also had the highest involuntary separation rate of all EEO groups, compared to their onboard rate. Many of these employees are disabled Veterans. The separation rate for permanent employees with targeted disabilities is of particular concern. Although they represented

7 Disabilities: The Federal Government, as a matter of policy, has identified for special emphasis in affirmative action programs. They are deafness, blindness, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, missing extremities, severe intellectual disabilities, psychiatric disabilities, epilepsy, and dwarfism. There are no RCLF standards for targeted disabilities categories. Census does not track these categories.

1.92 percent of the permanent workforce at the beginning of FY 2013, their voluntary separation rate during the fiscal year was 2.42 percent, and their involuntary separation rate was 6.49 percent. This high separation rate does impact VA’s efforts to reach its 2 percent onboard goal for employees with targeted disabilities.

Secretary Shinseki is committed to attaining the 2 percent onboard goal for this group. For FY 2013 and beyond, Secretary Shinseki set the hiring goal for 3 percent. Further corrective strategies will focus on: 1) Identification of Designated Special Placement Coordinators for all facilities; 2) Implementation of the Reasonable Accommodations Compliance System to track requests; 3) Training HR and managers on the use of Schedule A and VA’s RA procedures; and 4) Improving advancement opportunities as part of a retention strategy.

New Initiative - Diversity and Inclusion Index

In FY 2012, ODI developed and implemented two innovative methods for measuring workforce diversity and workplace inclusion. The new methods provide leadership with the capability to view quickly how well their diversity and inclusion program is performing versus relying on a series of 28 analytical tables and employment survey results to interpret. The diversity index measures, at present, the convergence of an organization’s aggregate workforce representation by REG with the CLF or RCLF, as applicable. The metric can be expanded to include other dimensions such as education and disability once baselines are established. The algorithm calculates the aggregate mean of the ratios of an agency’s workforce representation by REG with the corresponding representation in the RCLF or CLF. The result is a single metric on a scale of 0 to 100 percent, reflecting an organization’s overall diversity. Where appropriate, the algorithm is applied to the RCLF to isolate the qualified relevant labor force. This method provides a more appropriate, efficient metric

to gauge Federal workforce diversity. An index value of 100 percent means the organization’s diversity aligns perfectly with the RCLF or CLF. VA’s monthly diversity index for FY 2013 is provided at Figure 3. Note: This index currently focuses on REG and does not track the disability aspect of diversity. The monthly diversity index is incorporated within the Deputy Secretary’s Monthly Performance Review process.

In developing the basis for the Inclusion Index, VA relied on extensive and reputable research on the topic. Based on the research, VA then developed six dimensions to serve as the basis for the Index. In collaborating with OPM and applying advanced statistical techniques, VA identified 20 survey questions from OPM’s FY 2012 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey to serve as the basis. The Inclusion Index is defined as the total favorable responses to the total responses utilizing OPM’s weighted survey results. In FY 2013, OPM adopted VA’s methodology to measure workforce inclusion for the entire Federal Government. The inclusion indices for FY 2013 are provided at Table 5. Further research is necessary to determine the proper benchmark or range for this metric.

Barrier Analysis

The EEOC guidance regarding barriers to full participation refers to the indication of a possible barrier as a “trigger.” VA has identified five primary triggers in its barrier analysis, which are addressed in Part I of this report. VA is able to track and report on its barrier analyses and the impact of corrective strategies through its Web-based workforce data system, VHA Service Support Center applications (VSSC). In order to fully integrate VA’s Diversity and Inclusion Strategic Plan goals with Administration operations, ODI embedded the Department-wide goals into the objectives of the MD-715 Part I Plans. This was done to ensure that field components assume some accountability for Departmental goals because their EEO offices do not report directly to ODI. While the goals are Department-wide, subcomponent organizations were encouraged to identify and address their organization-specific triggers in their Part I Plans. This was communicated through quarterly Microsoft Live Web-based technical assistance meetings with field entities to assist them in the development of their organization-specific EEO Plans.

The five triggers identified in the VA Part I plans are:

1. Less than expected representation of White females: Compared with the respective RCLFs, White females (permanent and temporary employees) had less than expected representation in the VA workforce. White women are 35.58 percent (20.20 percent below the RCLF of 45.38 percent). This less than expected participation trickles down to Administration level (VHA, VBA, NCA, and VACO). A more detailed trigger and barrier analysis is provided at Part I of this report.

2. Less than expected representation of Hispanics: Compared with the respective RCLFs, Hispanic males and females (permanent and temporary employees) had less than expected representation in the VA workforce. In VA, Hispanic males represent 3.10 percent of the permanent and temporary workforce and Hispanic females represent 3.52 percent, whereas Hispanic males represent 3.93 percent of the RCLF and 5.17 percent of the CLF and Hispanic females represent 5.71 percent and 4.79 percent, respectively. The net change for Hispanic males (3.95 percent and females (3.25 percent) is below the net change for the total workforce (4.01 percent), meaning that Hispanic males and females are growing at a rate below that of the total workforce. This less than expected participation trickles down to Administration level (VHA, VBA, NCA, and VACO). A more detailed trigger and barrier analysis is provided at Part I of this report.

3. Less than expected representation of Asian males: Compared with the respective RCLFs, Asian males (permanent and temporary employees) had less than expected representation in the VA workforce. In VA, Asian males represent 2.75 percent of the permanent and temporary workforce, whereas Asian males represent 2.95 percent of the RCLF. However, the net change for Asian males (8.49 percent) is above the net change for the total workforce (4.01 percent), meaning that Asian males are growing at a rate above that of the total workforce. This less than expected participation trickles down to Administration level (VHA,

VBA, NCA, and VACO). A more detailed trigger and barrier analysis is provided at Part I of this report.

4. Promotions: Black females experienced lower promotion rates (11.51 percent) as compared to the overall promotion rate (13.24 percent) for permanent entry level positions (GS 3-8). Black females also had lower promotion rates (6.10 percent) as compared to the overall promotion rate (6.36 percent) for permanent mid-level positions (GS 9-12). For permanent senior level positions (GS 13-15), Black females had lower promotion rates (7.37 percent) as compared to the overall promotion rate (8.15 percent). A more detailed trigger and barrier analysis is provided at Part I of this report.

5. High volume of discrimination complaints: The per capita filing rate at the informal stage decreased from 1.39 percent to 1.26 percent from FY 2012 to 2013, and the formal complaint filing rate decreased from 0.73 percent to 0.61 percent. In FY 2013, the number of findings in discrimination remained constant (38 in 2012 and 38 in 2013). Reprisal, disability, and sex were the most prevalent bases of discrimination in those findings. Some corrective strategies to focus on include increasing early resolution of EEO complaints through counseling and ADR, reviewing findings and incorporating lessons learned into training, and increasing EEO and consultative services. A more detailed trigger and barrier analysis is provided at Part I of this report.

Summary of Planned Objectives for FY 2014

The following list summarizes the planned initiatives laid out in Part H, I, and J for FY 2014 to eliminate identified barriers or correct program deficiencies.

Issue procedural manuals aligned to the recently updated 5-year VA Diversity & Inclusion Policy Directive 5975.

EEO PROGRAM STATUS REPORT

DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS FY 2013

STATEMENT OF CONDITION THAT WAS A TRIGGER FOR A POTENTIAL BARRIER:

Less than expected representation of White females8

VA is experiencing less than expected participation for White females (WF) when compared to the Relevant Civilian Labor Force (RCLF). This less than expected participation trickles down to Administration level (Veterans Health Administration (VHA), Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) and National Cemetery Administration (NCA)) and to VA’s Central Office (VACO).

BARRIER ANALYSIS 1: The first indication of a possible barrier was the disparity in the participation rate of White females in VA as indicated in Workforce Data Table A1. In VA, WFs represent 35.58 percent of the permanent and temporary workforce, whereas WFs represent 45.38 percent of the RCLF. The RCLF for the nursing and allied health care field is statistically weighted towards women. Because VA’s workforce is heavily concentrated in these fields, VA has a higher benchmark to reach in order to achieve parity.

The net change for WFs (3.38 percent) is below the net change for the total workforce (4.01 percent), meaning that WFs are growing at a rate below that of the total workforce. In VHA, WFs represent 36.80 percent of the permanent and temporary workforce, whereas WFs represent 46.53 percent of the RCLF. The net change for WFs (3.66 percent) is below the net change for VHA’s total workforce (4.27 percent), meaning that White females are growing at a rate below that of the total workforce. In VBA, WFs represent 28.25 percent of the permanent and temporary workforce, whereas WFs represent 41.48 percent of the RCLF. The net change for WFs (-0.60 percent) is below the net change for VBA’s total workforce (1.28 percent). A negative net change means WFs have experienced a decrease in representation since FY 2012. In NCA, WFs represent 13.44 percent of the permanent and temporary workforce, whereas WFs represent 21.81percent of the RCLF. However, the net change for WFs in NCA (3.96 percent is above the net change for the total workforce (2.27 percent), meaning that WFs are growing at a rate above that of the total workforce. In VACO, WFs represent 21.86 percent of the permanent and temporary workforce, whereas WFs represent 27.96 percent of the RCLF. The net change for WFs (1.12 percent) is below the net change for VACO’s total workforce (2.80 percent), meaning that WFs are growing at a rate below that of the total workforce. The less than expected participation VA-wide prompted a review of Tables A4-2, A6, A8 and A14.

Table A4-2 revealed less than expected participation in the following permanent General Schedule (GS) grades for WFs as compared to the participation of the total permanent workforce in a particular grade in GS-2 (WF: 0.02 percent; Total:0.03 percent), GS-3 (WF: 0.19 percent; Total: 0.33 percent), GS-4 (WF:1.37 percent; Total: 2.16 percent), GS-5 (WF: 8.54 percent; Total: 10.62 percent), GS-6 (WF: 12.78 percent; Total: 13.17 percent), GS-7 (WF: 6.35 percent; Total: 7.01 percent), GS-9 (WF: 5.76 percent; Total: 6.25 percent), GS-10 (WF:1.29 percent; Total: 1.43 percent), GS-14 (WF: 2.29 percent; Total: 2.36 percent), and GS-15 (WF: 4.58 percent; Total: 8.20 percent). WFs also have less than expected participation in the Senior Executive Service (SES) (WF: 0.11percent; Total: 0.12 percent).

A review of Table A6 revealed a less than expected participation rate for 23 (Police, Social Science, Human Resources Management, Equal Employment Opportunity, Miscellaneous Administration and Program, Program Management, Auditing, Nurse, Practical Nurse, Nursing Assistant, Medical Technologist, Diagnostic Radiologic Technologist, Medical Records Technician, Legal Assistance, Veterans Claims

Table A8 revealed that the hiring distribution for WFs (35.32 percent) is below their representation in the RCLF (45.19 percent).

In reviewing Table A14, WFs have a separation rate (35.64 percent) in the permanent workforce higher than their workforce participation rate (35.43 percent).

STATEMENT OF IDENTIFIED BARRIER:

Provide a succinct statement of the agency policy, procedure or practice that has been determined to be the barrier of the undesired condition.

The cause of the lower than expected participation rate for WFs is unknown. It appears that our hiring of WFs is not exceeding the growth of the total workforce like it should if we want to see progress in participation. Also, WFs in the workforce are leaving at a high proportion. Further examination of the policies, procedures, and practices impacting the hiring, retention, and separation processes is needed.

OBJECTIVE:

State the alternative or revised agency policy, procedure or practice to be implemented to correct the undesired condition.

Create an applicant flow system to identify potential barriers in the recruitment and selection process.Review the hiring policies, procedure and practices.Implement an exit interview process for those separating from VA.Eliminate, when possible, any barriers to equal opportunity.

STATEMENT OF CONDITION THAT WAS A TRIGGER FOR A POTENTIAL BARRIER:

Less than Expected Participation Rates for Hispanic males and females9

VA is experiencing less than expected participation for Hispanic males and females (HM and HF, respectively) when compared to the RCLF and the CLF. This less than expected participation trickles down to Administration level (VHA, VBA and NCA) and to VACO.

BARRIER ANALYSIS 2: (National) The first indication of a possible barrier was the disparity in the participation rate of HMs and HFs in VA as indicated in Workforce Data Table A1. In VA, HMs represent 3.10 percent of the permanent and temporary workforce and HFs represent3.52 percent, whereas HMs represent 3.93 percent of the RCLF and 5.17 percent of the CLF and HFs represent 5.71 percent and 4.79 percent, respectively. The RCLF for the nursing and allied health care field is statistically weighted towards women. Because VA’s workforce is heavily concentrated in these fields, VA has a higher benchmark to reach in order to achieve parity.

The net change for HMs (3.95 percent) and HFs (3.25 percent) is below the net change for the total workforce (4.01 percent), meaning that HMs and HFs are growing at a rate below that of the total workforce. In VHA, HMs represent3.03 percent of the permanent and temporary workforce and HFs represent3.66 percent, whereas HMs represent 3.86 percent of the RCLF and HFs represent 5.83 percent. The net change for HMs (3.98 percent) and HFs (3.41 percent) is below the net change for VHA’s total workforce (4.27 percent), meaning that HMs and HFs are growing at a rate below that of the total workforce. In VBA, HMs represent 2.99 percent of the permanent and temporary workforce and HFs represent 2.66 percent, whereas HMs represent 3.15 percent of the RCLF and HFs represent 5.71 percent. However, the net change for HMs in VBA (4.14 percent) and HFs(1.64 percent) is above the net change for total workforce (1.28 percent), meaning that HMs and HFs are growing at a rate above that of the total workforce. In NCA, HMs represent 8.20 percent of the permanent and temporary workforce and HFs represent 1.99 percent, whereas HMs represent 18.56 percent of the RCLF and HFs represent 3.42 percent. However, the net change for HMs (8.27 percent) and HFs (2.94 percent) in NCA is above the net change for the total workforce (2.27 percent), meaning that HMs and HFs are growing at a rate above that of the total workforce. In VACO, HMs represent 4.27 percent of the permanent and temporary workforce and HFs represent 1.98 percent, whereas HMs represent 4.65 percent of the RCLF and HFs represent 3.23 percent. The net change for HMs (2.06 percent) and HFs(0.40 percent) is below the net change for VACO’s total workforce (2.80 percent), meaning that HMs and HFs are growing at a rate below that of the total workforce. The less than expected participation VA-wide prompted a review of Tables A4-2, A6, A8, and A14.

Table A4-2 revealed less than expected participation in the following permanentGS grades for HMs as compared to the participation of the total permanent workforce in a particular grade in GS-8 (HM: 6.40 percent; Total: 6.96 percent), GS-11(HM: 15.72 percent; Total: 20.29 percent), GS-12 (HM: 8.03 percent; Total:9.52 percent), GS-13 (HM: 7.48 percent; Total: 11.51 percent), and GS-14(HM: 1.54 percent; Total: 2.36 percent). Table A4-2 also revealed less than expected participation in the following permanent GS grades for HFs in GS-2(HF: 0.02 percent; Total: 0.03 percent), GS-9 (HF: 6.01 percent; Total:6.25 percent), GS-10 (HF: 1.29 percent; Total: 1.43 percent), GS-12 (HF:8.27 percent; Total: 9.52 percent),GS-13 (HF: 8.94 percent; Total: 11.51 percent), GS-14 (HF: 1.19 percent; Total: 2.36 percent), GS-15 (HF: 4.59 percent; Total: 8.20 percent). HFs also have less than expected participation in the SES (HF: 0.03 percent; Total: 0.12 percent).

A review of Table A6 revealed a less than expected participation rate for HMs for 18 (Human Resources Management, Equal Employment Opportunity, Miscellaneous Administration and Program, Program Management, Management and Program Analyst, Financial Administration and Program, Medical Officer, Medical Technologist, Pharmacist, Medical Records Technician, General Attorney, Legal Assistant, Veterans Claims Examining, Loan Specialist, Cemetery Administration, Criminal Investigating, Information Technology Management, and Cemetery Caretaking) out of 28 identified

major occupations in the permanent workforce. A review of Table A6 revealed a less than expected participation rate for HFs for 21 (Police, Social Science, Human Resources Management, Equal Employment Opportunity, Miscellaneous Administration and Program, Program Management, Financial Administration and Program, Practical Nurse, Nursing Assistant, Diagnostic Radiologic Technologist, Medical Records Technician, General Attorney, Legal Assistance, Veterans Claims Examining, Claims Assistance and Examining, General Business and Industry, Loan Specialist, Cemetery Administration, Criminal Investigating, Information Technology Management, and Cemetery Caretaking) out of 28 identified major occupations in the permanent workforce.

Table A8 revealed that the hiring distribution for HMs (2.83 percent) is below their representation in the RCLF (4.26 percent) and the hiring distribution for HFs(3.03 percent) is below their representation in the RCLF (6.02 percent).

In reviewing Table A14, HMs have a separation rate (3.08 percent) in the permanent workforce lower than their workforce participation rate (3.14 percent) and HFs have a separation rate (3.02 percent) lower than their workforce participation rate(3.57 percent).

We also reviewed the promotion rates for HMs and HFs. HMs and HFs had lower promotion rates (10.62 percent and 10.11 percent, respectively) as compared to the overall promotion rate (13.24 percent) for permanent entry level positions (GS 3-8). HFs also had a lower promotion rate of 3.81 percent as compared to the overall promotion rate of 6.36 percent for permanent mid-level positions (GS 9-12). For permanent senior level positions (GS 13-15), HMs and HFs had lower promotion rates (6.05 percent and 5.12 percent, respectively) as compared to the overall promotion rate (8.15 percent).

There were lower promotion rates for HMs and HFs transitioning from entry to mid-level positions (GS 8-9). HMs and HFs had a promotion rate of 4.67 percent and4.86 percent, respectively, as compared to the overall promotion rate of5.37 percent. There were also lower promotion rates for HMs and HFs transitioning from mid to senior level positions (GS 12-13). HMs and HFs had a promotion rate of 8.52 percent and 5.98 percent, respectively, as compared to the overall promotion rate of 11.03 percent.

Less than expected representation of Asian males10

VA is experiencing less than expected participation for Asian males (AM) when compared to the RCLF. This less than expected participation trickles down to Administration level (VHA, VBA and NCA) and to VACO.

BARRIER ANALYSIS 3: (National) The first indication of a possible barrier was the disparity in the participation rate of AMs in VA as indicated in Workforce Data Table A1. In VA, AMs represent2.75 percent of the permanent and temporary workforce, whereas AMs represent 2.95 percent of the RCLF. However, the net change for AMs (8.49 percent) is above the net change for the total workforce (4.01 percent), meaning that AMs are growing at a rate above that of the total workforce. In VHA, AMs represent 2.82 percent of the permanent and temporary workforce, whereas AMs represent 2.93 percent of the RCLF. However, the net change for AMs (8.43 percent) is above the net change for VHA’s total workforce (4.27 percent), meaning that AMs are growing at a rate above that of the total workforce. In VBA, AMs represent 1.46 percent of the permanent and temporary workforce, whereas AMs represent 1.96 percent of the RCLF. However, the net change for AMs (12.50 percent) is above the net change for VBA’s total workforce (1.28 percent), meaning that AMs are growing at a rate above that of the total workforce. Also, in NCA, AMs represent 1.59 percent of the permanent and temporary workforce, whereas AMs represent 1.71 percent of the RCLF. The net change for AMs (-9.68 percent) is below the net change for NCA’s total workforce (2.27 percent). A negative net change means AMs have experienced a decrease in representation since FY 2012. In VACO, AMs represent 3.31 percent of the permanent and temporary workforce, whereas AMs represent 4.88 percent of the RCLF. However, the net change for AMs (8.44 percent) is above the net change for VACO’s total workforce (2.80 percent), meaning that AMs are growing at a rate above that of the total workforce. The less than expected participation VA-wide prompted a review of Tables A4-2, A6, A8, and A14.

Table A4-2 revealed less than expected participation in the following permanent GS grades for AMs as compared to the participation of the total permanent workforce in a particular grade in GS-3 (AM: 0.09 percent; Total: 0.33 percent), GS-4 (AM:1.12 percent; Total: 2.16 percent), GS-5 (AM: 5.09 percent; Total: 10.62 percent), GS-6 (AM: 7.63 percent; Total: 13.17 percent), GS-7 (AM: 4.97 percent; Total: 7.01 percent), GS-8 (AM: 6.71 percent; Total: 6.96 percent), GS-9 (AM: 5.20 percent; Total: 6.25 percent, GS-11 (AM: 15.09 percent; Total: 20.29 percent), GS-12 (AM: 8.24 percent; Total: 9.52 percent), GS-13 (AM: 6.74 percent; Total: 11.51 percent), and GS-14 (AM: 2.03 percent; Total: 2.36 percent). AMs also have less than expected participation in the SES (AM: 0.05 percent; Total: 0.12 percent).

A review of Table A6 revealed a less than expected participation rate for 18 (Police, Social Science, Human Resources Management, Equal Employment Opportunity, Miscellaneous Administration and Program, Program Management, Management and Program Analyst, Financial Administration and Program, Auditing, Pharmacist, Medical Records Technician, Legal Assistant, Veterans Claims Examining, General Business and Industry, Loan Specialist, Appraising, Cemetery Administration, and Information Technology Management) out of 28 identified major occupations in the permanent workforce.

Table A8 revealed that the hiring distribution for AMs (2.97 percent) is above their representation in the RCLF (2.77 percent).

In reviewing Table A14, AMs have a separation rate (2.19 percent) in the permanent workforce lower than their workforce participation rate (2.58 percent).

Program Management

Conducted workforce analysis, diversity targeted recruitment and retention outreach all employee survey analysis in alignment with applicable program goals noted in the VA Diversity and Inclusion Strategic Plan, MD-715 Goals and planned activities, White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (WHIAAPI) and other related goals in Executive Orders, and Federal regulations.

The National AAPI Employment Program Manager in the ODI held three WHIAAPI Interoffice Work Group meetings to discuss VA’s WHIAPPI FY 2013 Mid-Year Accomplishment Report. He also participated in two WHIAAPI Interagency Implementation Team quarterly meetings, which focused on the accomplishment report and other related program areas. These meetings lead to the successful submission of VA’s WHIAAPI FY 2013 Mid-Year Accomplishment Report on April 30, 2013.

Recruitment and Retention Outreach

During FY 2013, VA continued to conduct focused outreach and recruitment to groups with less than expected participation rate, including AAPIs, at the national level through participation in national conferences such as the FAPAC and Conference on Asian Pacific American Leadership (CAPAL). In addition, through the National Diversity Internship Program, managed by ODI, VA targeted its outreach to increase diversity within its internship programs. As a result of this effort, the Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies and the International Leadership Foundation were two vendors that were utilized to identify potential students for the intern programs.

ODI created two All Station Memos announcing and encouraging participation in FAPAC’s Outstanding Civilian Individual Awards for 2013 and the 28th FAPAC National Leadership Training Program, which was held in Long Beach, California. An Asian Pacific American Month Field Information Package was created for dissemination to field facilities and posting on VA’s Web site.

Three VACO Staff Offices: CMV, NCA’s HR Office, and ODI conducted recruitment outreach to the AAPI community during the CAPAL Career Fair held on July 19, 2013. VA staffed two exhibit booths and provided attendees with information on VA’s Diversity program and programs and services available to Veterans.  The Career Fair was open to the general public and presented an opportunity for students and young professionals to interact with employers in the Washington, DC area.

ODI produced a departmental memorandum commemorating May 2013 as AAPI Heritage Month. The memo was disseminated throughout VA. The VACO APA Heritage Month planning committee accomplished three events:

o Kick-off event on May 2, 2013.o AAPI educational presentation on May 16, 2013.o Cultural event on May 30, 2013.

VA partnered with FAPAC during its 28th National Leadership Training Program to host a no-cost VA Agency Forum on Monday, May 6, 2013, to accomplish VA diversity goals. The forum was an opportunity designed to provide VA employees and Veterans with information on VA goals and objectives related to the AAPI Employment Program, including the White House Initiative on AAPI. VA continues to demonstrate its commitment to Diversity and Inclusion and express its support for employee development and outreach with AAPI affinity organizations. During the Conference, the EEO Office and Human Resources Specialists from VA Long Beach Healthcare System, the Veterans Employment Service Office, NCA, and VBA personnel conducted extensive outreach to Veterans.

During the month of May, ODI produced a memorandum announcing and encouraging participation in the Society of American Indian Government Employee (SAIGE) National Training Program held June 2013 in Spokane, Washington. The memo was disseminated throughout VA. During the event, as the VA Lead for the SAIGE conference, ODI coordinated VA’s support and participation in the conference to include the Native American Medal of Honor display, exhibit staffing by NCA, OPIA’s Office of Tribal Government Relations (OTGR) and great support by personnel of the Mann-Grandstaff VA Medical Center. ODI also partnered with SAIGE and OTGR to provide VA presenters for the Veterans Track panel discussion.

STATEMENT OF CONDITION THAT WAS A TRIGGER FOR A POTENTIAL BARRIER:

Low Promotion Rates for Black Females

VA is experiencing low promotion rates in GS for Black females when compared to the promotion rate for the overall workforce.

BARRIER ANALYSIS 4: (National)

We reviewed the promotion rates for Black females. Black females had lower promotion rates (11.51 percent) as compared to the overall promotion rate (13.24 percent) for permanent entry level positions (GS 3-8). Black females also had lower promotion rates (6.10 percent) as compared to the overall promotion rate (6.36 percent) for permanent mid-level positions (GS 9-12). For permanent senior level positions (GS 13-15), Black females had lower promotion rates(7.37 percent) as compared to the overall promotion rate (8.15 percent).

There were lower promotion rates for Black females transitioning from entry to mid-level positions (GS 8-9). Black females had a promotion rate of4.55 percent as compared to the overall promotion rate of 5.37 percent. There were also lower promotion rates for Black females transitioning from mid to senior level positions (GS 12-13). Black females had a promotion rate of9.18 percent as compared to the overall promotion rate of 11.03 percent.

REPORT OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS and MODIFICATIONS TO OBJECTIVE

In FY 2013, VA/ODI presented training to agency employees at the Blacks in Government National Conference in Dallas, Texas. The training presented information on career development and leadership programs, MyCareer@VA, and other informative sessions to improve upward advancement in VA. In addition to the training, ODI established a panel discussion titled, “Where Do We Go From Here” in response to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s African American Workgroup Report, which describes seven obstacles to opportunities for African Americans in the Federal workforce. The panel was designed to enable employees the opportunity to engage in a moderated dialogue with panel member who shared perspectives and personal experiences of career successes and leadership challenges.

The White House Initiative on Historically Black College and Universities (HBCU), in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Education, hosted a 2-day national conference commemorating National HBCU Week and highlighting the significant contributions which HBCUs have made to the Nation. In support of VA’s commitment to cultivating more diverse workplace opportunities, ODI, nominated one of VA’s employees to attend the 2013 HBCU Conference. The conference enabled VA employees to: 1.) Enhance knowledge and understanding on the President’s perspective on higher education, funding and the future of HBCUs from a fiscal, philanthropic efforts, and Federal Government support in continuing long standing relationships with HBCUs; 2.) Extended relationships between Federal agencies and HBCUs; and 3.) Develop new professional networks within public, private and intergovernmental entities based on common interests and public service efforts.

ODI partnered with VALU to launch a MyCareer@VA pilot aimed at eradicating potential barriers to EEO in VA.  This joint initiative targeted all employees, specifically in pay levels at and below GS-9/equivalent and in wage grade positions who wish to progress in their field or move to a new field.  The pilot program utilized cutting-edge career development tools and resources offered through MyCareer@VA and provided employees with knowledge and resources that can be used to achieve their career goals at VA. Pilot sites were Martinsburg, West Virginia and Washington, DC. VAMCs and an estimated 800 employees participated in the pilot which consisted of three components: 1) Introduction to MyCareer@VA for Employees (live training, in-person); 2) MyCareer@VA for Supervisors and Mentors (live training, in-person); and 3) CareerPower Training Course (virtual, self-paced). Participants reported significantly higher responses to the following:

1) I am currently taking steps to enrich my current job. 2) I am satisfied with what I learned using MyCareer; and 3) I am committed to applying what I learned from MyCareer@VA Next steps: ODI will expand access to pilot and track career outcomes.

The Blacks in Government VA Headquarters Chapter conducted its first Annual Induction Mentoring Future Leadership of American Government (FLAG) Conference during FY 2013.  The Chapter implemented the Senior FLAG consisting of twenty college students from Virginia Commonwealth University.  The purpose of the Conference was to assign the students to VA employees who had a desire to mentor.  Students received training on financial literacy, leadership, and resume writing and were assigned individual mentors. Mock interviews were also conducted by Senior leadership.

EEO PROGRAM STATUS REPORT

DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS

FY 2013

STATEMENT OF CONDITION THAT WAS A TRIGGER FOR A POTENTIAL BARRIER:

High Volume of Discrimination Complaints: In FY 2013, the number of findings of discrimination for VA decreased (41** in FY 2012 and 36 in FY 2013). Reprisal, disability, and sex were the most prevalent bases of discrimination in those findings.

** A correction was made to the FY 2012 findings of discrimination. It was previously reported in the FY 2012 MD 715 report as 38.

BARRIER ANALYSIS 5: (National)

The per capita filing rate at the informal and formal stages is higher than the Governmentwide average. The informal rate decreased from 1.39 percent to 1.26 percent from FY 2012 to 2013 (slightly higher than the Governmentwide average of 1.12 percent); and the formal filing rate decreased from 0.73 percent to 0.61 percent (still higher than the government-wide average is of .46 percent). While the Department continues to make some progress continued work is needed to reach the Governmentwide levels. In FY 2013, the number of findings in discrimination remained constant (41 in 2012 and 36 in 2013). Reprisal, disability, and sex were the most prevalent bases of discrimination in those findings. Some corrective strategies to focus on include increasing early resolution of EEO complaints through counseling and ADR, reviewing findings and incorporating lessons learned into training, and increasing EEO and consultative services.

A review of the findings of discrimination identified that reprisal, specifically, per se violations, was the common basis for the findings of discrimination. Retaliation is also the most frequently alleged basis of discrimination in the Federal Government even though an employer is prohibited from taking an adverse action based on an employee’s prior EEO activity. Per se retaliation/reprisal is an automatic violation of the law against reprisal that does not require evidence of an “adverse action.” Per se violations occur when management officials make negative comments or take action against an individual who participates in the EEO process in any capacity.

STATEMENT OF IDENTIFIED BARRIER:

Provide a succinct statement of the agency policy, procedure or practice that has been determined to be the barrier of the undesired condition.

Lack of understanding by managers and supervisors of EEO obligations.Delays in requesting or scheduling ADR.

OBJECTIVE:

State the alternative or revised agency policy, procedure or practice to be implemented to correct the undesired condition.

Review findings of discrimination to identify lessons learned and incorporate into training. Develop and implement standardized and customized resolution strategies. Encourage resolution of pending cases that are likely to result in a finding of discrimination. Actively promotes the use of ADR before and during the EEO complaint process. Utilize mechanisms that allows facilities to track progress in EEO/ADR.

09/30/2014Annual process

Utilize new mechanism that allows facilities to track progress in EEO/ADR. One of the responsibilities of ORM is to be proactive in providing VA managers resources to assist them in identifying and resolving workplace disputes as early as possible. ORM has deployed an electronic dashboard nationwide that is designed to provide current data regarding key indicators of the work environment. Data in the dashboard (graphs, charts, and raw data) identifies trends and provides the basis for strategies to address out-of-line scenarios or to establish strategic targets regarding EEO and ADR activity at the facility level.

09/30/2014Annual process

Encourage Resolution of EEO Complaints at the Informal Stage. ORM has developed strategies for EEO counselors, facility EEO and ADR program managers and ADR neutrals to use to support early resolution of complaints. Strategies include video teleconferencing and on-site counseling, increased assignment of neutrals with record of effective results, greater use of pre-mediation meetings with the parties, and increased collaboration with General/Regional Counsel to timely review and finalize settlement agreements. Additionally, ORM developed a resource document with examples of resolution strategies and settlement outcomes that is shared with managers participating in ADR. ORM has also stood up a call center that allows employees and managers to inquire about various forums available to address workplace disputes that often lead to EEO complaints. These initiatives have promoted ADR as a primary resource to address workplace disputes and EEO complaints. ORM also hired 10 full-time mediators duringFY 2013 to facilitate resolution at the informal stage and developed an assessment program to identify and address workplace conflict.

09/30/2014Annual process

Based on the Critical Indicators page in the automated MD-715 workforce analysis slides, identify the topics coded red for this and subordinate facilities. Describe your plan to address these issues. ODI has systematically been rank ordering all-employee survey data, separation rates, complaint rates, and sick leave rates and other workforce data to identify the facilities that appear to have the greatest potential risk (including facilities where findings of discrimination have been rendered). Facilities ranking lowest are selected for Technical Assistance Reviews (TAR). ODI later reviews the implementation of the resulting recommendations. Regions also use this data for their own interventions.**ODI completed 6 TARs during FY 2012. This is a recurring process.

09/30/2014Annual process

Identify and address any process or systemic issues at facilities where findings of discrimination have been made. ORM will work with facilities where findings are made to determine if there are systemic issues. Where we identify problems, we will work with the facility to develop a plan of action to avoid recurrences.

REPORT OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS and MODIFICATIONS TO OBJECTIVE

66

In FY 2013, the informal per capita filing rate decreased to 1.26 percent, and the formal filing rate decreased from 0.73 percent to 0.61 percent. This resulted from an increase in the informal resolution rate from 48 percent in FY 2012 to51 percent in FY 2013.

ORM has a process in place to identify cases that may result in a finding of discrimination. ORM brings these cases to the attention senior leaders to explore resolution.

While ORM monitors and ensures compliance with all findings of discrimination, it is more important to take actions that will ultimately result in less findings of discrimination. To that end, ORM and ODI have developed training for senior leaders that focuses on EEO obligations and responsibilities. It has a particular focus on the leaders’ responsibilities in the area of conflict management, reasonable accommodation, reprisal and harassment. ODI has posted new EEO and diversity training modules on its Web site for easy, nationwide access. Finally, ODI is currently increasing its training and organizational staffing complement in order to accede to the growing demand for these services. ODI will continue to partner with HR and ORM to provide diversity awareness training to the administrations and facilities. Our goal is to provide facilities with a clear understanding of what diversity is and what it isn't, to raise a greater awareness and sensitivity to diversity issues that go well beyond the assumed categories, and to recommend behavioral tools for fostering a more cohesive workplace.

One of the strategies that contributed to the decrease of EEO complaints is the implementation of EEO, Diversity, and Conflict Management Training. In FY 2013, VA ODI updated its mandatory EEO, Diversity, Conflict Management Training for Executives, Managers, and Supervisors and trained over 30,000 managers nationwide. This training includes modules on disability employment and reasonable accommodations. As a result of this and the other proactive prevention strategies described below, VA’s per capita rate of discrimination complaint filings (both formal and informal), decreased significantly from FY 2012 (from 1.39 percent to 1.26 percent and .73 percent to .61 percent, respectively).

ODI expanded its corporate EEO and diversity training program and consultative function for the agency and conducted over 125 face-to-face training sessions nationwide to over 4,500 employees in 17 VA facilities to include VACO, VBA Regional Offices, VAMCs, and the Board of Veterans Appeals.  V-Tel was integrated when available to include outlying CBOCs of medical centers.  Two specialized presentations of LGBT awareness were presented to five federal agencies in one location and another at DoD by invitation. ODI established a strong collaborative relationship with Human Resources Management (HRM), providing critical information on EEO, Diversity and Inclusion, and Reasonable Accommodations to new employees and new supervisors and managers in training sessions designed to assist them in their daily work.  ODI has presented at 26 on-boarding and 4 manager and supervisor briefings throughout the fiscal year which give ODI an opportunity to interact with over 1,000 employees.

ODI also partnered with VALU’s CED Directorate to support the integration of customized diversity and inclusion concepts, practices, and principles into the Interpersonal Effectiveness Learning Program.   Two courses are under final development for release in 2nd and 3rd quarters of FY 2014: (1.) Diversity:  Valuing Diversity in the Workplace is part of the Interpersonal Effectiveness Learning Program, designed to enhance organizational effectiveness by focusing on building interpersonal skills. The Valuing Diversity in the Workplace course is a foundational level course that introduces the concepts of diversity in the workplace as well as techniques aimed at improving communication and building better working relationships. (2.) Diversity: Fostering an Inclusive Culture is part of the Interpersonal Effectiveness Learning Program, designed to enhance organizational effectiveness by focusing on building interpersonal skills. The Fostering an Inclusive Culture course is an intermediate level course that outlines methods for seeking out diverse ideas and alternative viewpoints, examines ways to involve people with diverse backgrounds in the problem-solving process, and presents techniques to resolve conflict through open, transparent communication.

ODI developed a standard national training program for the VA Service Support Center analytical tools for HR and diversity management, and for Barrier Analysis training. More than 175 EEO specialists and directors signed up through the TMS portal and were trained during 8 separate training events.

ORM conducted numerous training and awareness programs in the area of ADR and increased its complaint resolution rate from 46 percent in FY 2012 to 52 percent in FY 2013. One strategy included disseminating ADR videos to educate the parties to a complaint on the process and value of ADR.

ODI implemented its new Inclusion Index and analyzed employee responses to diversity and inclusion survey items in the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey. Under the auspices of the VA Diversity Council, ODI commissioned a study to examine differences in survey responses of specific, diverse VA employee groups, and study of employee perceptions of fairness in the workplace. In addition, ODI administered the Secretary of Veterans Affairs Annual Diversity and Inclusion Excellence Awards Program to recognize achievements in three categories of the VA workforce. Finally, ODI co-initiated a partnership with the Human Rights Campaign and participated in the Health Equity Index to assess LGBT cultural competence and equity in VA medical centers.

Analysis

While still above the government average of 0.99 percent for FY 2012 (the latest data available), VA’s representation of individuals with targeted disabilities has not reached the Administration’s goal of 2 percent, and this group has a glass ceiling at the GS-9/title 38 equivalent level.

In FY 2013, the percent of VA’s permanent workforce with a targeted disability increased to 1.92 percent, up from 1.80 percent in FY 2012 and 1.65 percent in FY 2011. The rate of growth, or net change, for the total permanent workforce with targeted disabilities (11.50 percent) was about three times the rate of growth for the entire permanent workforce (4.01 percent), [Reference Table B1]. The high net change is essential to achieving an annual on board ratio increase.

Permanent employees with targeted disabilities are not well represented above GS-9/Title 38 equivalent pay levels. They are well represented at the Senior Executive Level (0.11 percent compared to 0.12 percent for the total workforce). From FY 2012 to 2013, employees with targeted disabilities experienced a marginal increase in their participation rate at the GS-10, GS-11, GS-13 and 14/title 38 equivalents. There was a marginal decrease at the GS-12, 15/title 38 equivalent.

With the exception of the Sales Workers occupational category (Table B3), employees with targeted disabilities made gains in FY 2012 in all other professional categories. They are now 1.48 percent of the Executive/Senior Level (1.38 percent in FY 2012), 1.30 percent of Mid-Level Officials and Managers (1.13 percent in 2012), 1.87 percent of First-Level Officials and Managers (1.76 percent in 2012) and 1.74 of Total Officials and Managers (1.62 percent in 2012).

The five job series with the largest number of employees with targeted disabilities are Custodial Workers (794), Medical Support Assistant (490), Miscellaneous Clerk and Assistant (456), Food Service (381), and Nurse (337).

Of the job series that offer promotion potential, there was an increase in employees with targeted disabilities in the title 5 job category. For example, Social Science, Human Resources, EEO, Miscellaneous Administration and Program, Management and Program Analysis, Information Technology, Cemetery Caretaker, Cemetery Administration, and General Business and Industry all had an increase in the number and ratio of employees with targeted disabilities. There was a decrease in the number and ratio of employees with targeted disabilities in the medical profession (Medical Officer, Nurse).

At the end of FY 2013, 23.355 percent of employees with targeted disabilities in permanent positions were in wage grade occupations, up from 21.65 percent in FY 2012. In comparison, at the end of FY 2013, 7.67 percent of individuals with no disabilities in permanent positions were in wage grade positions, down from 7.95 percent in FY 2012.

By legislation, the Laundry job series is reserved for Veterans with service-connected disabilities, yet 28 of 106 employees in the Laundry job series are identified as non-Veterans. The top three wage grade occupations for individuals without disabilities are Custodial Worker (7,502), Food Service (5,392) and Cook (1,102).

Also, while 7.45 percent of the total VA permanent workforce with no disabilities separated in FY 2013, 11.46 percent of employees with targeted disabilities separated. Sixty percent of the employees with targeted disabilities who separated have psychiatric disabilities. Of the employees with targeted disabilities who were involuntarily separated, 78 percent (118) have psychiatric disabilities. Of VA’s permanent employees with targeted disabilities, 54 percent have psychiatric disabilities. While this group is only 1.04 percent of VA’s workforce, they were 5.11 percent of involuntary separations.

Although training of Selective Placement Coordinators and Local Reasonable Accommodation Coordinators has increased, the number of coordinators with the proper skill set remains insufficient throughout the Department.

The ratio of complaints based on disability remains high.

VA has encountered obstacles in installing assistive technology because each facility has a slightly different infrastructure.

Accomplishments

In FY 2013, ODI trained 175 employees on how to identify less than expected participation rates within their respective facilities. ODI reports quarterly on the progress of hiring individuals with targeted disabilities. ODI also trained all NCA managers and supervisors on reasonable accommodation procedures. ODI conducted Schedule A and RA training on all six technical assistance review visits. ODI issued guidance on Schedule A hiring, disability law, RA, etc. to the Selective Placement Coordinators and the LRACs.

In FY 2013, VA made great strides toward the goal that two percent of the workforce be people with targeted disabilities. This group is now 1.99 percent of the work force, an increase from 1.85 percent at the end of FY 2012. While the VA total workforce had a 4.01 percent net change, there was an 11.5 percent net change for employees with targeted disabilities. This group was 2.83 percent of total hires.

In FY 2012, they were 2.58 percent of total hires. Increasing the number of employees with disabilities, especially targeted disabilities, improves the ability of VA employees and managers to understand the viewpoint of disabled Veterans. The Disability

70

Program was reinvigorated with a HCIP hire in FY 2010. At the end of FY 2009, employees with targeted disabilities were only 1.47 percent of VA’s workforce. In 4 years, VA has achieved a 35 percent increase for this group. (Unfortunately, EEOC has not released data since the FY 2010 report, so we can’t verify where VA’s on board data stands in relation to the other agencies.)

Quarterly updates on hires of people with targeted disabilities were sent to all facilities and VACO, letting them know of their progress. Periodically, the Disability Program Manager sent emails providing guidance on the Schedule A excepted appointment authority and other pertinent guidance.

VA hired 48 WRP interns for summer positions. This is the second highest number for one Federal agency. The WRP provides pre-screened college students and graduates with disabilities who are eligible for employment. Several of these interns were converted to permanent positions. ODI reimbursed salary costs for most of these interns from the WRP fund.

RA is required by the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and is also critical to the retention of these employees. The Centralized Fund was used to reimburse the cost of 1,105 accommodations. The VA employees, LRACs, who are responsible for processing accommodation requests received training on the process and on the automated tracking system. The automated tracking program “Reasonable Accommodations Compliance System” was rolled out in FY 2013 and all Administrations were instructed to ensure that every LRAC was using the system.

In February 2013, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Programs (ODEP) created several videos of ODI’s Deputy Assistant Secretary, the Director, Outreach and Retention Division, and VA’s Disability Program Manager discussing our program. ODEP has publicized these videos and lauded VA for having best practices.

Based on questions from LRACs, supervisors, and employees, as well as new EEOC guidance, VA Handbook 5975.1, Processing Requests for Reasonable Accommodation from Applicants and Employees, was updated. The draft was sent to the Administrations and the Office of General Counsel for comment. After some negotiations, the final was submitted for signature. Several other agencies have said they are waiting to see VA’s new procedures.

In September 2013, VA’s Disability Program Manager participated in a panel discussion at MicroPact’s Symposium. The panel, which was repeated four times during the day so that all participants could attend, focused on accommodation issues.

Data on employment of individuals with targeted disabilities is included in ODI’s quarterly reports which were given to senior staff. Quarterly hiring data is also shared with EEO and HR staff VA-wide. This resulted in most VA components exceeding the hiring goal in FY 2013.

ODI published articles regarding the importance for career growth for individuals with targeted disabilities. ODI also talked about this topic on six site visits. During site visit trainings, ODI provides barrier analysis training specific to individuals with targeted disabilities.
